DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (NYSE: DWA) is an animation studio based in Glendale, California. Its subsidiary, PDI, LLC, is based in Redwood City, California. DreamWorks Animation is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. DreamWorks Animation is the North American distributor for Aardman Animations.

The company was created in 2000 by its original parent company, DreamWorks SKG, to produce both traditionally animated and CG animated feature films. The studio is most famous for producing Shrek, which is also its highest grossing brand to date. Other animated films include Antz, Shark Tale, Madagascar, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and the most recent Over the Hedge. The studio also produced the short The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper. So far, DreamWorks Animation has only produced one animated series for television, which was Father of the Pride for NBC. The series cost $2 million an episode, and didn't last more than one season on the network. The series is available on DVD.

In 2004, DreamWorks SKG was purchased by Viacom, and the company spun off DreamWorks Animation as its own independent public company. Currently, DreamWorks Animation is the only publicly traded independent animation studio in the United States. Pixar was also a public company before being acquired by Disney.
